After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Xie Zhicheng was so angry that he jumped up and down, yelling at his uncle:

"Uncle, I've said it before, good people are often bullied, good horses are often ridden. Uncle's family is the Zhongshan wolf. You care about that little bit of blood relationship, but they wish we would die immediately from the bottom of their hearts!"

Mrs. Shao, Mrs. Wei and their daughters all looked sad and stood at the back without saying much!

Xie Zhicheng continued, "Madam Hou, you don't have to be so against us. We don't want the dowry from my great-aunt. Let's just break off the engagement so that we don't get sick of each other!"

Liu Diejing's face darkened. Although the dowry money did belong to the first wife, it couldn't be made public!

However, since the two families have come to this point, it would be better to break off the engagement. Then, there would be no need to worry about the dowry money, fearing that they would look for Ruo again!

Liu Diejing stole a glance at the Marquis. She knew that the Marquis should also be somewhat moved. Just as she was about to say something, Xie Xuanping spoke up:

"Fourth brother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We are a family after all. Even if we break our ties, we are still connected. If we really break off our relationship, how can Second Uncle still serve as an official in the court?"

"Everyone calm down. It's not easy for Eunuch Ming to come here. We should treat him to a cup of tea and some snacks!"

The Xie Jing brothers exchanged glances, but being interrupted by Lan Ge'er, they couldn't continue!

One side of Xie Jing's face was swollen, but he smiled apologetically and bowed to Eunuch Ming:

"Master Ming, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. I can't accept the news for a while and I am a little out of control. I will be fine after some time!"

Eunuch Ming had already seen the clues from the emperor's decree. It seems that the Changning Marquis' Mansion has been completely abandoned, and the second master of the Xie family should start anew and become a new noble!

"No, no, I don't have it here yet. Congratulations, sir. I hope you will have a bright future and a smooth career!"

Shao, who was standing by, hurriedly took out a purse and stuffed it into Xie Jing's hand. Xie Jing then stuffed it into Eunuch Ming's hand:

"It's just a token of my appreciation. I'm sorry for what I did today. Buy him some wine!"

The purse was light, and it was obvious that it was filled with silver bills. Eunuch Ming was extremely satisfied. After this trip, he not only got silver, but also watched a great show. He would go back and tell the emperor about it!

Eunuch Ming turned around happily and was about to leave. It was only at the suggestion of Xie Xuanping that Aunt Ke brought out a purse containing fifty taels of silver ingots!

Even though he was extremely dissatisfied, he didn't care about much else this time. He took it and walked quickly!

"Master Ming, this is a little money for tea, please don't be disgusted! ..."

Before he could say anything more, Eunuch Ming had already lost his patience and led his men out of the house without even looking at him!

The two families have already fallen out at this point, so naturally no one will be in a good mood!

Xie Jing looked at Lord Xie coldly. He was just an empty title. Even if he didn't die, it would be more painful than death. He felt much better and looked at the eldest family with icy eyes. Sure enough, the girl from the Su family did not show up!

The people from the second and third rooms, holding their own imperial edicts, disappeared in a flash!

Lord Xie wanted to die at this moment. He sat down on the chair and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant!

He didn't know what went wrong. He just married his concubine's daughter, who was not presentable enough, to a man who was twenty years older than her as his second wife. How could she find a good family with her status as a concubine?

Now, she is allowed to go to a rich family to enjoy a good life, but why is she still criticized by those mediocre people!

Since when did the emperor start to care about the affairs of his subjects' harems?

Also, why were two imperial edicts issued at the same time, one praising and one criticizing? Did the emperor completely dislike me? Could it be that from now on, I would only be left with the title of marquis, without even an official position?

If this is true, I'm afraid the emperor intends to take back the plaque of Changning Marquis' Mansion. By then, they will have no place to stand in this city!

And there is Xie Jing, a bastard who is not worthy of being in public. How could he have deserved the emperor's favor? Not only did he become a third-rank official, but now, he was even awarded a mansion. It really makes people crazy!

What exactly does the emperor mean by this? Is he hinting that if I want to gain a foothold in the city, I have to be nicer to that bastard?

At this moment, Liu Diejing felt like the top of her head was about to flip up with anger. Her family had been getting worse and worse, and few people invited her to gatherings in the circle of noble ladies in Beijing!

Now, the Marquis doesn’t even have an official position anymore, and I’m afraid he won’t have a place in those circles anymore!

"My Lord, what is going on? The Emperor wouldn't dismiss you for no reason, would he?... Hey, he wouldn't confiscate your property again, would he?"

Lord Xie's face was pale and blue as he tried to guess the emperor's intentions. He was annoyed by his wife's words and shouted angrily:

"Shut up, you ignorant woman. You even dare to make up stories about the emperor. I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Liu Diejing shut up with an embarrassed look on her face, but she was unwilling in her heart. Those two bastards were getting better and better. Although the material of the clothes she wore today was not the most expensive, it was also the latest style in the city!

The gold hairpins and step-shaking ornaments on the heads of that lowly bastard's wife and daughter looked of very good style and quality, making her look like an old maid!

Aunt Xue watched Liu's changing expression coldly, and knew that she was comparing herself with the people from the second and third rooms, and was feeling indignant. Although she herself felt uncomfortable, she was happy to see this vicious woman angry!

Ever since her daughter got into trouble repeatedly, Aunt Xue had been telling her daughter not to flatter Liu casually unless necessary, lest she fail to flatter her and be targeted and used by Liu instead!

Now she should be thankful that her daughter listened to her and stayed in the back house, otherwise, she would be the one to be sold for a thousand taels!

Although Aunt Xue did not guess the core, it did not prevent her from knowing everything about this family's behavior. If there was really someone willing to pay a large sum of money, I am afraid that the couple would marry their daughter without hesitation!

Fortunately, my son suddenly said two months ago that he wanted to travel with his teacher, saying that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and that broadening one's horizons can help him to reach a higher level!

Otherwise, with the current chaos in the Marquis' Mansion, it might affect Ming'er's studies!

Aunt Xue was very perceptive, so she would not go up to cause trouble at this moment. She gave her daughter a look, and the mother and daughter returned to their own yard!

Xie Xiaolian was furious at the moment, and he was obviously still upset about what Xie Zhicheng said: "I am a lowly creature, and even my words have the sour smell of a lowly person!"

Although the whole family felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but to others it was just sour talk. The second master was jealous of other people's comfortable life and was being jealous!

Xie Xuanping just felt extremely tired at the moment. How could he have such a family of stupid relatives? Eunuch Ming hasn't even left yet and such a scene has already happened. If the emperor gets to the ears about this, he will probably be furious. By then, it won't be as simple as just demoting him!
